Marathon Coaching
There Are Just Weeks Until Your Spring Marathon. Let's Make Every One Count.
If you're reading this in March, you're probably feeling one of two things:
"I'm not sure I've done enough."
Or: "I know I haven't done enough."
Either way — you're not too late. But you do need to use the time you have wisely.
I'm Sarah, The Lovely Marathon Coach. I work with runners to help them get to the start line feeling calm, prepared, and genuinely proud of what they've achieved — even when training hasn't gone to plan!
The Lovely Marathon™ Reset
(aka Your Marathon Rescue Package)
Personalised 1:1 support from now until race day.
First, let's get something out of the way.
No one's training goes perfectly. Not first-timers, not experienced runners, not the people who make it look effortless on Instagram. Life gets in the way. Weeks get missed. Confidence wobbles. You've not failed — that's just what marathon training actually looks like for real people with real lives.
So if you're thinking "it's too late" or "I should have sorted this sooner" — please don't. It's not too late- you still have time to turn this around.
You just need the right support from here.
That's exactly what this is. No judgement, no overwhelming you with things you haven't got time for. Just a calm, clear plan built around where you actually are — and someone in your corner to help you stick to it.
Work with me and you'll be standing on that start line with a smile on your face.
I actually guarantee it. (See below for the details of my Lovely Marathon™ Guarantee.)
What's included:
3 x 45-minute 1:1 coaching calls One now to assess exactly where you are and build your plan. One in early April to check in and adjust. One in race week to get you calm, focused, and ready to go.
WhatsApp access until race day So you're never more than a message away from support when something comes up — a niggle, a bad run, a wobble in confidence, a fundraising worry. I'm there.
Your personalised training adjustment plan We look at what you've done, what's realistic, and what will make the biggest difference in the time you have left. Nobody's training ever goes to plan, and I'll help you get back on track safely.
Fundraising page review + access to my custom AI tool If you're running for charity and your fundraising page isn't doing the work it should, we'll fix that. You'll also get access to my custom-built AI tool that helps you rewrite your page into something you actually feel proud to share.
Full access to the Lovely Marathon™ Course 45 lessons covering training, fuelling, mindset, and race-day strategy. You can work through one a day from now and still finish before London. It's all there when you need it.
Access to the Lovely Marathon™ Members Community A private WhatsApp group of runners who get it. Real peer support from people who know what's like to be in your shoes, right through to race day.
£597 — one payment, everything included, no monthly instalments.
Everything you need between now and the finish line.
-
Genuinely, no — it's not too late. You still have enough time to make a real difference to how you feel, how you run, and how you arrive at that start line. We're not starting from scratch. We're taking what you've already done, building on it smartly, and filling the gaps that matter most.
-
Absolutely. The fundraising support is there for those who need it, but the Reset package is for any runner who wants expert guidance through the final stretch. If you're running for yourself and you want to arrive at the start line feeling calm and prepared, you're in exactly the right place.
-
If a genuine injury means you can't run, we'll talk. I'm not going to leave you high and dry — we'll look at what's happened and work out the right thing to do together. This is one of the reasons I only work with runners I'm genuinely confident I can help. If something isn't right during our initial call, I'll be honest with you about that before you commit to anything.
-
Outside of your actual training, very little. The course lessons are between 5 and 15 minutes each — designed specifically for people who are already stretched thin. The WhatsApp support fits around your life. And the calls are scheduled at times that work for you. This is designed to reduce your mental load, not add to it.
-
It's much more of a conversation than people expect. There's no being put through your paces or judged on what you have or haven't done. We talk, I listen, I ask questions, and together we work out what you actually need. Most people tell me afterwards that they wish they'd done it sooner — not because it was intense, but because it was such a relief to have someone calm and knowledgeable in their corner.
-
I'm not a robot, so not quite 24/7! But I'm responsive, and I check in regularly. If something comes up — a worry, a bad run, a question about a niggle — you can message me and you'll (normally) hear back the same day. Think of it as having a knowledgeable friend you can text, rather than waiting until your next appointment.
-
The package is priced as a single payment of £597, which keeps things simple and means we can get started straight away. If instalments would make a genuine difference to whether you can access this support, drop me a message after booking your free call and I'll explain the options.
I’m so confident in this process that if you complete your weekly accountability challenges and don't have a 'lovely' race day, I’ll refund you in full. Because I put my reputation on the line with every runner, I don’t accept everyone. I only work with people I’m certain I can help succeed.
Want Extra Support in Race Week?
Race Week VIP – £197
Most runners put all their energy into the training. But the final 10 days? This is where you need to keep your head! The moment you cut back your mileage, your brain fills the gap with doubt. And without the right guidance, you risk using up precious mental and physical energy when you need every ounce for race day!
This add-on is designed to make sure that doesn't happen to you.
In the final stretch, I'll be right alongside you — helping you dial in the details, stay calm, and give yourself the best possible chance of the race day you've been working towards.
Includes:
- Race week check-in call to make sure you're in the right headspace and your plan is locked in
- Personalised pacing strategy so you know exactly how to run your race — not someone else's
- Carb-loading and race fuelling plan tailored specifically to you
- A morning-of voice note from me — something calm and personal to listen to before you head to the start line
- Post-race debrief call to celebrate what went well and make sense of how it all went
Places for Race Week VIP are extremely limited.
I prioritise this support for runners already in the Lovely Marathon™ community — but I do reserve a small number of spaces for others each year, so if you'd like Race Week VIP support, I'd encourage you to join the waitlist now. I'll be in touch as soon as a space becomes available.
Prefer to Go It Alone?
The Marathon Mindset Course — Self-Guided
You don't need more training advice right now. You need someone to help you cut through the noise, calm the panic, and think clearly about the weeks ahead.
That's what this course is.
45 short, focused lessons covering training, fuelling, mindset, and race-day strategy — each one designed to take between 5 and 15 minutes. No lengthy videos to sit through. No complicated programmes to follow. Just calm, practical guidance you can dip into whenever you need it — on your phone, your laptop, or your tablet, wherever you are.
Feeling overwhelmed on the commute home? There's a lesson for that. Lying awake at 2am worrying about your long run? There's a lesson for that too.
Think of it as having a steady, reassuring coaching voice in your pocket — one that helps you feel less alone with this, and more in control of what happens next.
£197 — or £247 with the Lovely Marathon™ Guarantee included.
With the Guarantee, if you complete the 9 quick accountability challenges and race day still isn't lovely, you get your money back in full.
